Summary of This Method
The Hal Leonard Guitar Method is designed as a comprehensive guide to learning blues guitar in a practical and musical way. Rather than piling up abstract exercises, this method relies on standards and iconic styles to help you progress in both rhythm (shuffle, accompaniments, boogie) and solo (phrasing, licks, call and response, turnarounds).
Throughout the lessons, you consolidate the essential foundations of the genre: the structure of the 12-bar blues, building a vocabulary of riffs and licks, understanding commonly used chords and scales, and implementing essential techniques such as bending and vibrato to achieve an expressive sound. Articulatory effects (hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides) are also covered to smooth your playing and enrich the blues language.
The combined presence of notation and tablature makes reading accessible, whatever your background. Finally, the CD (75 tracks) allows you to listen to each example, then play along with the backing tracks: ideal for developing timing, touch, and ear, in the spirit of blues legends like B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Buddy Guy, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, and more.
